Senior prom fell far short of the rite of passage Constance McMillen was hoping for when she began a legal battle to challenge a ban on same-sex dates.
So, nearly everyone I know seems to have gone on at least one blind date-it's almost like a rite of passage.

My blind date story is pretty random.

Stanley McChrystal to President Barack Obama about Afghanistan policy was a rite of passage for the new administration: the first major national security leak and a sure sign that the celebrated Washington Post reporter has penetrated yet another administration.

Just admit it: getting that "it" bag really is the rite of passage for many a many fashion freaks. Don't try to fool yourself by saying you don't want a bag that every one has--you already know that no new-bag-on-the-block could ever put these clamor-worthy classics out of style, and there's a good reason for it.
